Typical starter failure presents with the symptom you describe. Just takes longer to start. A defect in the starter will cause it to take much more current. It drops the voltage from the battery getting less torque at the starter, lower RPM.
Get a current reading on the starter cable and a load test on the battery

Interesting perspective. I'm thinking its likely fuel pump/regulator related. I can't see how this would be related to the starter at all, it is functioning perfectly.
